Description
Aix sponsa.
These ducks have become rare because so many were killed for their colorful feathers. I found this one at Ina Road and the Santa Cruz River, in southern Arizona, USA. The duck on the left is a female Mallard.

Very nice! I have always wanted to see one of these.
beautiful duck, and capture!
Such a nice palette of colors on this duck ! Beautiful image ! :~)
looks really beautiful this !!
Looking at the two of them (one of which I almost didn't see), it is easy to guess who's feathers get plucked. That is one beautiful bird.
Hey! That's me! <<===
Used to see a lot of them south of Yuma.
